The three day event starts today and continues with the main days, tomorrow and Wednesday.

This is the 135th staging and committee members have put in lots of voluntary hours to ensure all is in readiness.

Activity at the showground increased yesterday and by today, everything should be set up in Sideshow Alley, one of the best in country NSW.

Feature act in the arena will be the amazing Showtime FMX Freestyle Motocross team who will thrill crowds on both Tuesday and Wednesday.

The highlight tomorrow afternoon will be the announcement of this year’s Miss Parkes Showgirl.

There are three entrants - Bridget Lee (24), Casey Patton (24) and Hannah Tanswell (23).

The eagerly anticipated event will follow the official opening at 3pm by Geoff Bush of Cootamundra, a past president of the Agricultural Societies Council (ASC).

Almost as popular is the Miss Teenager contest which is scheduled for 6.30pm.

Tuesday night’s highlight will again be the massive fireworks display, which starts just after 7pm.

Attractions in the main arena will conclude on Wednesday evening with the Demolition Derby.
